ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for heating or cooking food is described which comprises a plate forming the hot horizontal surface on which the food to be cooked is placed, at least a heating source underlying the plate, a cover above said plate, which defines a mainly closed space. The metal plate has high thermal conductivity. Preferably, the plate has a raised edge effective to circumscribe and define a space for locating and containing the food. The plate may be inverted and the apparatus may be used as an open grill. In this arrangement heat is transmitted by conduction. The plate is provided with essentially vertically extending passages located, in the perimetral parts of the plate, in section in vertical planes, in such a way that the lower mouth or inlet of said passages fully communicates with the space underlying the plate so that active circulation of superheated air is established between the space underlying the plate and the space above the plate and defined in the inside of said cover. When the plate is inverted, circulation is prevented or at least strongly hindered, thereby the heat irradiated by the source of heat is transmitted, substantially completely, to and respectively through the planar portion of said plate.
